jcgregorio : Tet Happened, and No One Cared - New York Times - “We’re succeeding,” Mr. McCain said after his last trip to Iraq. “I don’t care what anybody says.” Again, it’s the last sentence that’s accurate.

plasticbag : I love the insane way this diagram of 'The Universal System' manages to completely denaturalise women, gay people, atheists and any non-American! - It's from Milton R Cudney's "Eliminating Self-Defeating Behaviors" (apparently published in Michigan in 1975 by Life Giving Enterprises). This sense of what is natural and ordered basically fucks us all.

plasticbag : Stefanie Posavec “On the Map” - Absolutely fascinating book of what appear to be map-like visualisations of literary themes, books, sentence lengths and the like. I'm trying desperately to find out where to get my hands on it. Any ideas?
philgyford : Stefanie Posavec “On the Map” (NOTCOT) - Amazing infographic-like diagrams all based on Kerouac's 'On the Road'. Obsessively beautiful. (via Orlando's Ffffound)
jonhicks : Stefanie Posavec “On the Map” - Stefanie's work is incredible - a must see!

plasticbag : Gorgeous pictures of laser-engraved MacBooks... - The last one on the page I think is absolutely beautiful. I wonder if there are any sites where you can find really amazing designs that you can take into a laser engraver to have put on your machine...

plasticbag : Shoes with built-in GPS units that can broadcast your location! How awesome is that!? - Well unfortunately it's not that awesome, as it only seems to actually broadcast your location when you press a button, presumably as a consequence of being kidnapped or something. Fun though.

plasticbag : "I have my very own iPod—in my mind! I hear those little things carry up to a month's worth of music. Well, so does my mind!" - "But wait, you say that my iPod isn't wrapped up in a pretty little white case? Oh, I guess you haven't heard of a pretty little white case I like to call my skull."

plasticbag : Hoefler & Frere-Jones have posted a piece contrasting the new UK coinage styles with the new US Five Dollar Bill - God, the five dollar bill is a monstrous horror of crap masquerading as a bank note. I don't know what they think they're doing. Having said all that, my current favourite is New Zealand's currency. Gorgeous.

plasticbag : Seven Weird Superheroes Who Won't Ever Hit the Silver Screen (But Should) - Disappointed by the fact that over-half of them are from DC Comics 31st Century super-teams, particularly The Legion of Substitute Heroes, who are intentionally lame. I know too much about this stuff.

plasticbag : BBC News did a redesign a couple of days ago—and you know—it's fine, but I wonder... - Design patterns are now established. Probably people need to redesign less. So is it a bold new step, or is it a distraction from where the changes actually should be happening?

plasticbag : I'm deeply troubled by Phorm. This seems to be a service that could only be reasonably offered to a site owner, not an ISP... - I mean, otherwise, there's a precedent for surveillance where we just sort of have to take Phorm's word for the idea that they're not tracking personal or private stuff. It seems particularly sinister to me.
